AMA issues new CPT add-on code for second-level lumbar total disc replacement
The AMA has accepted the addition of a new category I CPT code for second-level lumbar total disc replacement procedures, according to a press release.
With the FDA approval of Centinel Spine's two-level total disc replacement system, providers may begin using the new CPT code for second-level lumbar total disc replacement procedures with Centinel Spine’s prodisc L system, effective Jan. 1, 2023.
“Through the efforts of physician partners and medical societies, this new CPT code expands access to life-changing technologies for patients by opening new reimbursement pathways,” Steve Murray, CEO of Centinel Spine, said in the release. “The prodisc L device is the only disc that has FDA approval for two-level indications and has been a benefit for patients with lumbar disc disease of this severity. Having two-level approval has helped Centinel pursue its mission to provide clinically proven products that allow individuals to continue to function at a high level,” Murray added.
